Floriana sign Grech, closing in on Akpan

Leighton Grech is a new player of Floriana FC, the Premier League club announced yesterday.

The 27-year-old winger has been training with the Greens squad for a week and has left a positive impression on coach Giovanni Tedesco who has decided to offer the 27-year-old a contract.

Grech, formerly of Birkirkara and Vittoriosa Stars amongst others, has agreed personal terms and has put pen to paper on a two-year contract.

Floriana are also in talks to sign Nigeria-born goalkeeper Ini Akpan.

The 32-year-old has been on the books of Birkirkara FC for the past four seasons but has failed to win a regular place in the Stripes goal.

Sources have told Times of Malta that Floriana have opened talks with the Stripes to sign the veteran goalkeeper and it is understood that a deal is close to be reached.

If Akpan reaches an agreement to join the Greens it may well put a question mark on the future of Justin Haber who was dropped for Thursday’s second leg tie against Red Star Belgrade at the Hibs Stadium.
